    and of course a 08 registered now would be worth more than a 08 registered in july because of this i reckon

    or at least an easier sell in the future

    You haven't answered why you can't buy the Evo now though, which is actually the answer to your problem, if not necessarily your question.

    Are there any brand new Evo's currently available for delievery pre July 1st. If so and that's what he wants then he should just go for it.

    i imagine the car manufacturers will be pre-regging a few of the cars going to loose out to the new vrt rules prior to July 1st so they acn sell them on post July.

    they do this quite a bit in the UK so that they can give big discounts on cars without giving the discounts on new cars.

    you said at the start you wanted an Evo, now you want an alternative!

    i answered by saying buy the evo, whats stopping you.

    the evo i mentioned is petrol.

    i think you dont know what you want yet and the best advice would be to go test drive all the cars your thinking of because your the one spending the money, and your the one that has to live with it everyday so its about how you feel in the car.

    an E46 M3 wins hands down for me but that might not be what you like.
    best of luck and hope you get something nice.

    he has asked for opinions and he has got them and i didnt notice any begrudgery?

    I wasn't suggesting that there was any begrudgery in the replies he got, but I'm sure there are those out there who would begrudge him for having an 08 Evo, or any of the other cars mentioned.

    You could say that our Motor Tax system is a form of state sponsered begrudgery, when you consider that the majority of really desireable cars on our roads are in the higher tax brackets, and have been for years now.

    The OP is right to consider the running costs when it comes to choosing what car to buy, but if he can afford to buy an Evo, surely he can afford the running costs, road tax included.

    Especially since €2,000 a year is paltry compared to the fuel bill!

    600 if he buys before July though which makes it alot more affordable.
    very low mpg if driven hard and maybe 20 if driven with a bit of sense.

    And because of the CO2 advantage the price of the S-Tronic is lower than the manual :)

    And it does look so yummy :cool:

    Go with the evo if you can - about 3 sec an average lap quicker than the 335i.
    If you are going to buy a performance car, you may as well buy a performance car.....
